My team is responsible for a small task using putty.exe but they handle many tasks a day.
Basically we connect to host i-sentinel providing a username and password.
Therefore, it is entered a username of the person that requires their session cleared and exit.
What i am in need is a way to launch putty.exe from keyboard command then login to host perhaps using a script to save time.
Is this possible?

Have you considered trying KiTTY? It supports automatic login when connecting to a host!
Short description of KiTTY: KiTTY is a fork from version 0.63 of PuTTY, the best telnet / SSH client in the world. KiTTY is only designed for the Microsoft Windows platform.
Binding kitty to start with a keystroke shouldn't be too hard!
Edited:
Make a bat file running the command to load a specific session in kitty.
kitty.exe -load sessionname
Ofcourse the exe got to be placed at the same location on all computers running this, but that could be as easy as "C:\kitty".
The bat file can then be assigned a keyboard shortcut - completing what you were after.

you recommended the software for automatic login, but still did not address the real question that is to assign a keyboard key combinaton to launch the client. – Lorenzo Von Matterhorn – 2013-09-23T11:10:11.347
1OK so I can create a .bat file which launches Kitty or keyboard shortcut. But what is the correct code to complete the connection and login username and password boxes? – stephen – 2013-09-23T11:23:53.590

This is the automatic logon script page for Kitty (http://kitty.9bis.net/) unfortuantely filling in a .txt file via logon script. I can't work out how to have this txt file always in Kitty.

@stephen To launch from cmd, use the -load flag. (kitty.exe -load NAME) where NAME is the session name from your list. Tested and worked like a charm on a few hosts for me. – xstnc – 2013-09-24T07:44:31.680
@stephen updated my answer aswell. – xstnc – 2013-09-24T07:48:50.407
Welcome to SuperUser. What is your operating system? what have you tried so far? – Lorenzo Von Matterhorn – 2013-09-23T11:02:33.183
1@stephen, help me understand, what OS are you on? Can you give any details on what command you're running on the remote server? – SlightlyCuban – 2013-09-23T21:07:35.633
